Michael as a professional engineer (who likes Dennett's engineering
analogies of evolution), I might extend your architects view ...

You might "really need" a fully glazed exterior doorway, but sorry you
can't have one. We can ony fit doorways from the inside, there are no
sky-hooks outside for us pragmatic engineers to build the architects
dream. (Interestingly full-glazed buildings provide a lot of good
architect / engineeering analogies I suspect.) We can only build from
the inside out. We can look out but we can't do stuff out there
without building cranes and that crane always has to poke through your
glazing from an internal structure.
